[Start Briefing] Getting on the bus for life, waking up to the noise at night... Hannam-dong residents said, "I'm getting greedy."

On Tuesday, January 7, the start briefing will begin.

First of all, it's the Seoul Shimbun.

There is a place that has been turned into traffic hell and assembly hell these days. It is Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. It's a neighborhood where the pro-impeachment rallies last 24 hours because of the presidential residence. Residents risk their lives to go out to the first lane and take the bus, and even in the middle of the night, they stay up all night because of the noise. Over the weekend, Hannam-daero was controlled by cars and foot traffic was also restricted near the official residence for safety reasons. Those of you who drove to Hannam Street on the weekend will know. It was to the point where you couldn't come out if you went in. Buses often pass without stopping due to traffic jams, and residents go out to the first lane and catch buses.The same goes for office workers who take buses passing through the Hannam-dong area
. It takes about an hour and a half more than usual. Residents are suffering from noise and light even in the middle of the night as the pros and cons rally is held near residential areas and Hangangjin Station. Some merchants even quit their business altogether. Police deployed task forces and even built a barrier with dozens of buses to prevent physical clashes between the pros and cons rally participants. For the time being, the Hannam-dong area is expected to continue to be congested.

Next is the JoongAng Ilbo.

'Blue Collar', which was considered a avoidance job among young people. Now, the perception is changing. There is a favorable trend toward blue collar, which is mainly manual labor, and 80% of job seekers in their 20s and 30s said they do not avoid blue collar. There is a young man in his 30s who is a seven-year-old plaster. After graduating from a prestigious university, I started my social life as an office worker, and in two years, I changed my career as a plaster castor. Now, they say they make about 50% more money than when they worked as an office worker. The reason why young people's perception of blue collar has changed is also linked to this point. You can earn as much as you try to be honest. In addition, there were quite a few respondents who said that the stress of organizational life would be low. Being able to work for life without retirement age is also considered a charm of blue-collar. When asked how it would be to get a job in a blue-collar job in the future, only 19% said it was negative. In foreign countries, the preference for blue collar among young people is already noticeable. The same phenomenon is likely to continue in Korea in the future. Analysts say that young people will flock to high-wage, high-skilled blue-collar jobs at a time when the working-age population is decreasing.

Next up is the Dong-A Ilbo.

Universities are raising tuition fees. It's been the same for 17 years because of the government's request, but I started raising tuition one by one, saying I couldn't stand it anymore due to financial difficulties, and other universities are also considering raising tuition fees. Among the universities in Seoul, Sogang University and Kookmin University fired flares. This year, we decided to raise tuition by 4.85% and 4.97%, respectively. After being wary of the government, he took the lead in raising tuition fees first, and other universities are also trying to participate. Other Seoul universities, including Yonsei University and Korea University, are also considering raising tuition fees. Not only private universities, but also national universities and shifts. Local universities want Seoul universities to raise tuition quickly. Recently, the presidents of national universities have decided to ask the Ministry of Education for a preliminary consultation on raising tuition fees. The Ministry of Education has only provided national scholarships to universities that have frozen tuition fees. However, universities that are no longer able to withstand financial difficulties are determined to raise tuition even if they do not receive support from the director. It is expected that there will be a series of schools that decide to raise tuition this month.

Last but not least, Kyunghyang Shinmun.

The first statistical data to analyze the current status of non-payment medical expenses came out. The annual non-benefit medical expenses are estimated to be 22.6425 trillion won. It is said that the price of manual treatment varies by up to 62.5 times depending on the hospital. Let's first point out the structural problem. The reason why non-benefit medical expenses vary so much is because the hospital sets the price. It has been pointed out that the structure, coupled with loss insurance, leads to excessive non-payment treatment and increases the burden of medical expenses for all patients. Some point out that the concentration of certain medical subjects causes an essential medical crisis. Then, let's look specifically at how much the non-payment items vary widely. When it comes to manual treatment costs, the difference is at least 8,000 won and the maximum is 500,000 won, which is 492,000 won. In vitro shock waves were at least 20,000 won and up to 450,000 won, 22.5 times different. Percutaneous epidural nerve plastic surgery had the largest difference in the maximum and minimum amount. The difference is at least 200,000 won and up to 3.8 million won, and the difference is 3.6 million won. In the dental field, the implant-zirconia scale was the largest. Eighty-four percent of the people also said they needed to control non-benefit medical expenses, which are "the price of calling." The government has also begun reorganizing non-benefit and loss insurance. We plan to announce a plan for managing non-indemnity non-payment treatment and a reform plan for real loss insurance soon.

I looked at the newspaper in the morning of January 7th. This has been the start briefing.
